Could somebody explain to me why 6) c is more correct than b?

Parallel just seems more correct as You have old and new system running in tandem in different stores, whereasthe textbook defines pilot as:

"Pilot conversion involes the use of parts of the fully installed new system while the old one is i use"

The question doesn't state whether a portion or the whole system is implemented so do we assume it is the whole system implemented at the store?
